2008-12-20 [Amaya.Kai.Kyouwa]: Hey Giro...well my coming out wasn't a walk in the park. I just wish my folks are more accepting, they are okay with everyone else being open and say parents should be accepting but when I told my mother and step-father, they gave me hell. My mother keeps saying how digusting it is and says I'm a shame to her abd my family. It hurts so bad and I wish that they could still see me as their daughter like they used to. Help me deal, I need support

2008-12-22 [~Get a taste of religion_Lick a witch~]: Ok so being honest, with your folks can be realy hard knowing that they are disapproving, when they are the ones you seek acceptance from the most and sometimes they are the hardest to not have support from. The only thing I can say is if you truely wish to live this life, then you must stand strong. Unfortunatly you have to stand on your own and let them know this is not a choice but who you are. Find some one you admire who has come out and gone through this process and talk to them. hang out with them see how much happier they are in their decision. Let this be your inspiration to stay strong. In time your parents will either pretend not to know or hopefuly will accept you for who you are, their wonderful daughter and not any different then who you were before you came out! Stay strong I know it can be hard but you can do it! I promise.
